"Dissent in Ninth Circuit Magazine Ban Shows Rogue Judges Ignore Constitution"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regarding Duncan v. Bonta, rogue judges are not the main problem with our 2nd Amendment (2A) protections imo.
The main problem is that we've got a corrupt, anti-2nd Amendment Congress that is stubbornly not doing its duty to make 14th Amendment (14A)-based federal laws that discourage the states from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights, our 2nd Amendment protections in this example.
"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
In fact, the congressional record shows that when Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 above, read the Bill of Rights as main examples of constitutionally enumerated protections that 14A applies to the states, he included 2A.
“See 2nd Amendment (Article II) about middle of 2nd column.” — John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe
Also, the Supreme Court had put it this way about Congress's 14A legislative power to strengthen our constitutionally enumerated rights Minor v. Happersett.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnished an additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
But more importantly, 14A is still alive and kicking, even in California, evidenced by UC Berkeley losing a freedom of speech lawsuit awhile back.
UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group (12.4.18)
On the other hand, I suspect that California taxpayers ultimately ended up paying settlement, effectively nullifying one of the reasons that 14A was drafted imo.
The remedy for the bad decision of the judges' anti-2A decision imo is this. Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to support hopeful Trump 47 by electing a new patriot Congress that is willing to do its 14A duty to make laws that discourage the states from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections, 2A in this example.
So patriots need to get ready ASAP to primary ALL federal lawmakers up for reelection in 2024, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company, Jordan, (and others?), replacing them with Trump-endorsed candidates who will make it difficult for the states to abridge constitutionally enumerate protections.
The rogue judges are not the main problem.
The main problem is the ideology of Progressivism (lately morphed in wokeism, cultural, Marxism, Post Modernism, Radical Feminism and other manifestations of a Marxian view of reality.
Progressivism et al are ideologically wedded to the use of state power to change man's nature.
They view mankind as infinitely malleable. All they need is enough power in the hands of the state.
Every attempt fails spectacularly. The more power they grab, the more spectacular the failure.
They do not care. It is a "secular" religion.
